AFP SCAMS: SWINDLERS, PLUNDERERS AND TAX EVADERS In the AFP Modernization Program

The Project/s: AFP CAPABILITY UPGRADE PROGRAM (CUP) Communications Equipment Offered by Israel – The Armed Forces of the Philippines Fixed Communications System

Request for Investigation / Report on AFP Anomalies: This is NOT part of the so-called Midnight Deal, but should be included in the AFP DND investigation because this is now “due for payment to suppliers.” During the Arroyo administration, the “civilians” were appointed in AFP DND to handle the procurement. Unfortunately, these “civilians” who were expected to exercise “a level playing field” were the ones caught in the act violating the RA 9184 and IRR; they were even the Number One violators of their so-caled “follow the rule of law”; such massive irregularities in the bidding process grossly disadvantageous to the Philippine Government. PLEASE SCRUTINIZE THEIR DOCUMENTS AND YOU WILL FIND THAT THE WINNERS HAVE COMMITTED FRAUD AND PROVIDED MISLEADING INFORMATIONS. DND BAC proclaimed a Winner by Fraud (DID NOT participate the bidding !).

A Fraudulent Joint-Venture Agreement “JVA” FIASCO !

Disguising corruption: The suppliers/agents/lobbyists, and other third-party representatives designed a SHAM joint venture with an Israel vendor shortly after the entire bidding was carried out (one partner of the JV, DID NOT even participate the bidding process) and the agents are then seen using PLM foundations to disguise the sources of illegally obtained funds and to hide bribery and unexplained bank deposits to pay bribes and evade taxes; to hide off-the-book accounts and other accounting irregularities; the PLM foundations as repositories of the ill-gotten wealth.

DEAR PRESIDENT NOYNOY AQUINO

You said in your well-applauded inaugural address on June 30 “We will fight corruption (also, in AFP, you will scrutinize the controverial biddings in the AFP Modernization Program undertaken by DND BAC, review the Conduct of Bidding Process, Notice of Awards and Contracts),” and said so that we, the Filipino people, can bring our concerns to you directly because, borrowing your own words, we are “your boss.” May we report to you the current Issues the MASSIVE BIDDING & AWARDING IRREGULARITIES in the utilization of the AFP Funds- the AFP Modernization Program Fixed Communication System Projects which is now DUE FOR PAYMENT TO THE SUPPLIERS: The DND BAC awarded the contract to suppliers with a “defective” JVA (Joint Venture Agreement). Defective because aside from the fact that Datatrail Corporation did not participate the bidding and no eligibility documents, there are traces of influence peddlings, treacherous collusion among suppliers and obvious railroading of the AFP projects to favored suppliers under this defective fraudulent JVA.

In the spirit of non-partisanship and enlightened national interest, we hope you will not fail us SPEED UP THE INVESTIGATION of this AFP Modernization Program SCAM.

Please bring this to the right concerned agency or body for immediate attention and action, to truly eradicate the culture of corruption that took root in the military organization in cahoots with unscrupulous individuals. And more power to your organization recognized to have absolute professional journalistic responsibility of reporting the facts, consistently delivering a fair and balanced reporting and conscientiously serve in best interest of the Filipino people.

SPEED UP the AFP Modernization Program or speed up the Corruption ?

BEWARE OF Microwave radio manufacturer CERAGON NETWORKS ISRAEL engaging in anomalous deals in cahoots with these big-time FIXERS they bagged the Contracts worth Billion Pesos from the AFP Modernization Fund thru Fraud. There’s grand conspiracy going on right now, exactly the same as the recent NBN/ZTE deal Scam ! And like ZTE of China, CERAGON NETWORKS ISRAEL is liable to be punished to the full extent of the law, BE BLACKLISTED for the offence, being part of the dummy corporation set up as PART OF THE FRAUD SCHEME. Watch this group of “big-time fixers” continues to peddle INFLUENCE as investigation on DND irregularities are going on, influencing decisions and wield unfair advantage through lobbying and advocacy. We are afraid that these fixers may soon get away scot-free. PLEASE SCRUTINIZE THEIR FRAUDULENT JVA they cannot deny that nothing untoward happened after all their intentional misrepresentations made. CAVEATS : We just learned that Contract Awards still intact with Ceragon Networks Israel engaging in fraud-ridden JVA arrangement. Nasaan na po ba yung daang matuwid ? And like ZTE China, what will be your action against Ceragon Networks Israel for this CRIMINAL LIABILITY ? There’s conspiracy of silence around such supplier-driven anomalous deals and corruption in the AFP and the fixers are happy.

Attention to our dear Senators and our President P-Noy, please STOP the Payment immediately and SCRUTINIZE the Filipino contractor Datatrail Corp. JVA with Ceragon Networks Israel which is DUE FOR PAYMENT ANYTIME NOW. It was DND-BAC ASEC Othelo Carag who acted unfavorably grossly disadvantageous to the Philippine government, a WILLING VICTIM hastily favored the questionable Datatrail Corp. JVA with Ceragon Networks Israel. Datatrail Corp. did not submit the required Legal / Eligibility documents and DND BAC did not follow/implement the basic standards and the Rule of Law pertaining to the latest revisions on RA 9184 and IRR on JVA. Notice that Datatrail Corp. was never mentioned to have participated the bidding and DND BAC was VERY SILENT about Datatrail Corp.’s qualifications a private Filipino contractor with NO history qualifications (no financial and technical records of telecom projects microwave and PBX; in connivance with DND BAC entirely bypassed the non-discretionay pass/fail criteria based on RA9184 and IRR requirements, the proclaimed Winner simply because they have DND Connections !).

Are we going to allow a one-million-peso corporation a PhP 55,000 taxpaying company to bag the Billion pesos AFP contracts ?

The lone Witness: The JVA letter and Notice of Award to a Filipino private contractor Datatrail Corp. Winner without documents, in conspiracy and collusion with Ceragon Networks Israel. Both suppliers and other unscrupulous representatives/beneficiaries should be BLACKLISTED and CRIMINALLY CHARGED for grave conspiracy, bid price fixing, falsification of documents, estafa, pretenses and misrepresentations and violation of Government Procurement Act RA9184 and IRR on JVA.

Are we going to allow another NBN/ZTE Scam ? This time, the Project: AFP Modernization Program for Fixed Communications System SCAM !

These suppliers (representatives from Ceragon Networks Israel, Datatrail Corp. and Alcatel) are currently busy with their bank accounts being coursed thru a foundation, can we ask them to explain to the Senate Investigating Body “how” they were able to bag the AFP FCS Projects “without the eligibility legal documents” and ENTIRELY BYPASSING THE BIDDING STAGES 1 & 2 VITAL FOR THEM TO BECOME ELIGIBLE TO BID. We appeal to our Pres. P-Noy to SCRUTINIZE the documents of this winning Filipino private contractor Datatrail Corp. because they won the project by FRAUD. JVA without eligibility documents IS a CRIME; Datatrail Corp. did not participate ANY of the bidding stages, they did not pay the Bid Security Bond yet they were able to bag the AFP FCS Project without incurring any expenses except producing the JVA Letter (the footprint of Influence Peddling !). This is a very controversial bidding because the one who did not participate the bidding ended up as THE WINNER bagging the projects !

What is worse, as if there was no daylight robbery and fraud committed, these suppliers/representatives are now ACTING LIKE THE REAL BIG WINNERS TODAY, BY FRAUD !

FAST FACTS (Bid Due Dates Milestones, “Switching” of Winners and Opening of Bank Accounts of Suppliers and Accomplices to secure their Kickbacks, or the so callled “Tong-pats”)

1/ December 1, 2004
New DND Team of Executives was appointed by then DND Sec. Avelino Cruz.

2/ March 18, 2005
1ST Stage Bidding, held on Mar. 18 (THIS IS HIGHLY QUESTIONABLE: A “Failure of Bidding” was declared by DND BAC; note that most of the Bidders have complied all the Eligibility Requirements; the bidders felt that Ceragon Networks Israel and Datatrail Corp. were not able to participate this Bidding why a Re-bidding was called — so they are given a chance to participate)

5/ November 2005 THE SO-CALLED “SWITCHING OF WINNERS” THRU “JVA”
DND BAC released a statement thru a Supplementary Bulletin, sometime in November 2005, announced that Ceragon Networks Israel and Datatrail Corporation that “they” were “actually” in “Joint Venture Agreement.”

6/ April 27, 2006
Datatrail Corporation, the “self-proclaimed Winner”, published false informations in the Philippine Star, surprised everyone “to have bagged the AFP Fixed Communications System projects” without ANY eligibility documents like NTC permit, no Income Tax Stamped Received by BIR, etc. and not paying the Bid Security Bond and no history qualifications in CY 2003, CY2004 and CY2005 (bid reference dates for history qualifications). False representations and misleading informations were released in the publication: Datatrail Corporation DID NOT participate ANY of the Bidding Stages 1 and 2 to become eligible to bid, not even an accredited vendor for Digitel/Sun Cellular, Globe Telecom and PLDT/Smart Communications; yet telling the public that Datatrail Corporation bagged projects in Digitel and Smart/PLDT worth more than $15 million in 16-month period. This is ABSOLUTELY FALSE, a false representation committed by Datatrail Corporation. We challenge Datatrail Corporation to provide their Income Tax Return payment from BIR and letters from Digitel and Smart/PLDT Project References for CY 2003, 2004 and 2005 since the AFP FCS bidding was held in 2005 ! ; how can they get the projects to start with if they are not even a recognized telecom supplier in the telecom industry (nobody knows them !).

Issuers of the press releases are responsible for the content of their press releases-

Not a Telecom Company nor Supplier for Digitel/Sun Cellular, Globe Telecom and PLDT/Smart:
Contrary to their press releases, Datatrail Corporation IS NOT an accredited supplier for Digitel/Sun Cellular, Globe Telecom and Smart/PLDT to-date; even a simple NTC Certificate they do not even have !

Note: Everyone within the PLM community knew “Jesus Trinos Jr and Friends” bagged the AFP Modernization Contracts and boasting their friends the AFP Funds are available for release anytime now.

8/ October 2 2009
Herminio Orbe (Supplier for Alcatel for AFP) was appointed as PLM Scholarship Foundation as President; this PLMAAI entered into an agreement with PLM Scholars Foundation, Inc. of Jesus B. Triños, Jr. with Banco De Oro C/A# 00438017412 Metropolitan Avenue Branch Makati City (Note: the bank account placed in Makati City ! )

10/ Q3 2010
PAYMENT OF HUGE KICKBACKS OR THE SO-CALLED “TONG-PATS”: THE PLAN is to Back-to-back Bank Wire Transfer Remittances from Ceragon Networks Israel – Datatrail Corp. JVA to PLM Scholars Foundation Inc. to get the Kickbacks of “Jesus Trinos and Friends” generated from AFP Modernization Program and Digitel/Sun Cellular worth Millions and Millions of Dollars in kickbacks as payment to the Fixers (In the AFP FCS Projects, whoever gets this First Phase of the the AFP Fixed Communications System automatically gets the succeeding phases worth Billions of Pesos !)

BEHIND THAT SMILEY FACE IS A HIDDEN AGENDA: They need the foundation like PLM Scholars Foundation Inc to hide their KICKBACKS and forthcoming UNEXPLAINED WEALTH DEPOSITS and for tax shield (no paper trail) purposes taking millions of dollars in kickback scheme as suppliers/business partners/accomplices for project funds generated from the AFP Modernization Program, Digitel/Sun Cellular, etc.
Will serve as their virtual bank account for deposit and withdrawal facilities.

THE PROBLEM IS: THEY GROSSLY CHEATED WHY THEY GOT THE AFP FCS PROJECTS. They are NOT the real Winners !

“THERE’S GRAND CONSPIRACY IN THE AWARDING OF CONTRACTS TO CERAGON NETWORKS ISRAEL AND DATATRAIL CORPORATION. DND BAC, CERAGON NETWORKS ISRAEL AND DATATRAIL CORPORATION GROSSLY CHEATED THE PHILIPPINE GOVERNMENT — THERE’S SOLID EVIDENCE OF BIDDING IRREGULARITIES AS THEY GROSSLY VIOLATED THE GOVERNMENT PROCUREMENT ACT R.A. 9184 AND IMPLEMENTING RULES AND REGULATIONS (IRR). LIKE ZTE, PLEASE BLACKLIST THESE SUPPLIERS AND ACCOMPLICES.”

Anatomy of Graft and Corruption

Three suppliers are in collusion: Jesus Trinos Jr (agent for Datatrail Corp./Ceragon Networks Israel) and Herminio Orbe (local agent and dealer for Alcatel), together they have put up several PLM Foundation Scholarship Programs as part of their working strategy to cover up their misdeeds of embezzlement, money laundering generated from fraudulent activities and the foundation will serve as a trust fund for ‘their Associates’ profit-sharing scheme the device would pocket extremely huge amount, ranging hundred millions of pesos the projects/contracts generated from the AFP Modernization Fund.

“SYNCHRONIZED” SYNDICATED ESTAFA: Just recently, these suppliers/representatives/agents opened up their “Joint” bank accounts c/o PLM foundations which they both have newly registered at SEC (probably for tax evasion, tax shield, prevent any paper trail and money laundering purposes) so they could legally pocket the lion’s share of the loot once the AFP fund is released. Also, just recently, they even use some unsuspecting personalities like PLM President Adel Tamano, Manila Mayor Alfredo Lim, Ms. Gemma Cruz-Araneta, Ms. Viel Aquino and PLM web sites with quite a number of photo ops that would make them appear to have legitimate businesses and portrayed as full fledged benefactors, in the eyes of the general public their only mission apparently is “Just here to help.” Unknown to many, the PLM bank accounts will be used TO HIDE the “DIRECT RECIPIENTS” of forthcoming huge deposits, bank remittances and ill-gotten wealth (Winner by fraud won by this group of Fixers !)

I will coordinate with PLM officials on the method of relief operations for victims of typhoon Ondoy. I understand they are converting the University Activity Center into a relief operations center.

PLM has canceled the activities of Pres. Adel Tamano’s birthday which is today, and instead will divert all efforts at extending help to typhoon victims. We are likewise aware that other PLM alumni and employes are likewise victims themselves, and we want to extend whatever assistance we can to alleviate their sufferings.

With this, I would like to call on the PLM alumni community and friends to spare anything they can to help our fellow Filipinos and fellow alumni who are in need of help at this time.
We would appreciate for all to spread the call for help. I can be reached at: +63916-340-2321, +63908-7777-666 or +63922-889-3113.

Thank you very much.

Sincerely,

Jess Triños, Jr.
President

Note:
Through the courtesy of the Foundation President, Herminio Orbe, the PLMAAI entered into an agreement with PLMSFI to have all private cash donations and contributions be coursed through the latter’s BDO account to facilitate the relief efforts needed by our fellow citizens at these trying times.

With a defective “fraudulent” JVA, they are displaying the roles of Robin Hood stealing AFP’s money to help a handful of their so-called PLM Scholars and then literally pocket the rest of the loot divided among themselves (bank wire transfers from AFP Modernization Fund WILL BE FORTHCOMING shall be made thru Ceragon Networks Israel – Datatrail Corp. Phils JVA); the controversial Filipino contractor Datatrail Corp. is connected with CVC Law (The Firm) !

Fixed Communication System (stage/status: 1st stage of the 2-stage procurement mode was held last September 8, 2005; new invitation to apply for eligibility and to bid (ITAEB) will be issued on October 20, 2005)
Procurement Stage: 1st Stage – Opening and Submission of Bids
ABC: P447,360,000.00
Length of Delivery: 240 calendar days upon issuance of Notice to Proceed
Highlights : Through a Supplemental Bulletin, the deadline for submission and opening of bids for the 1st stage bidding for this project was changed from 25 August 2005 to 8 September 2005, 9:00 a.m. On the day of submission and opening of bids, 4 companies complied, namely Alcatel Phils., Inc., Lucent Technologies, Nera Phils., and Ceragon Networks. None of them failed when their eligibility envelopes were opened. During the initial evaluation of the technical proposals of the 4 bidders, the BAC declared that they all passed, yet subject to post qualification/evaluation. BAC shall formally announce in writing, through the Secretariat, the results of the evaluation. Schedule of the opening of the revised technical proposal and their financial proposals (i.e. 2nd phase of a two-stage bidding process) is scheduled on October 20, 2005 due to request of bidders for longer time to prepare revised technical proposals.

Note: Based on the AFP BAC’s Bid Bulletin, there were ONLY 4 Bidders, not 5; the private Filipino company Datatrail Corp. was not in the list !

A Multi-Billion Peso Question:

IN THE SPIRIT OF TRANSPARENCY: Where are the Datatrail Corp. Eligibility Legal documents, to follow the rule of law on Government Procurement Act the RA9184 and IRR, to prove that they have participated the bidding to win the Armed Forces of the Philippines Modernization Program Fixed Communication System (AFP FCS) Project ? There’s solid evidence that Datatrail Corp. Philippines DID NOT participate the bidding, yet have won the Billion peso project simply by presenting a JVA letter they became an INSTANT WINNER (“switching of Winners” because of a JVA letter !)-

REP. IMEE MARCOS five years ago (published by Philippine Star Newspaper) had the SAME QUESTIONS why Datatrail Corporation had won contracts at the Bureau of Immigration and Deportation (BID) without going through the usual bidding process.

What makes this Controversial Biddings and Awardings, another AFP Modernization Program Procurement Scam:

Ceragon Networks Israel requested the Department of National Defense Bids and Awards Committee (DND BAC) for a re-bidding in CY 2005, connived and entered into Joint-Venture Agreement with a one-million-peso Filipino company called Data Trail Corporation who refused to participate the bidding, grossly violated the RA 9184 and IRR, ended up the “Winner without documents.”

FRAUD WINNER: Here’s the MISSING ELIGIBILITY DOCUMENTS this Winner in this Controversial Bidding failed to provide, yet have won the AFP Contracts (in collusion with Ceragon Networks Israel).

1. No NTC Dealer’s Permit (under the JV as required by law RA9184 and IRR)

4. No Net Financial Contracting Capability (NFCC) (under the JV as required by law RA9184 and IRR)
5. No Credit Line Certificate (under the JV as required by law RA9184 and IRR)
6. No Certificate of Cash Deposit amounting to ten percent (10%) of the approved budget (under the JV as required by law RA9184 and IRR)
7. No Waiver (under the JV as required by law RA9184 and IRR)
8. No Supplier’s/Distributor’s/Manufacturer’s Profile (under the JV as required by law RA9184 and IRR)
9. No DTI Registration or SEC Registration (under the JV as required by law RA9184 and IRR)
10. No Mayor’s Permit (under the JV as required by law RA9184 and IRR)
11. No Tax Identification Number (TIN) (under the JV as required by law RA9184 and IRR)
12. No EFS Tax Clearance (under the JV as required by law RA9184 and IRR)
13. No Articles of Incorporation, Partnership or Corporation (under the JV as per RA9184 and IRR)

18. No Sworn Statement to have visited/conducted survey on all sites/stations (as per RA9184 and IRR)
19. No Valid Joint Venture Agreement (JVA) submitted during the Stage 1 (as per RA9184 and IRR)
20. No Letter of Authority to Validate Submitted Documents because Data Trail Corp. did not submit anything (under the JV as required by law RA9184 and IRR)
21. No Certificate of Authenticity of Submitted Documents because Data Trail Corp. did not submit anything (under the JV as required by law RA9184 and IRR)
22. No Authority of the Signatory (Special Power of Attorney or Secretary’s Certificate) (under the JV as required by law RA9184 and IRR)
23. No Affidavit of Disclosure of No Relationship (under the JV as required by law RA9184 and IRR)
24. No Certification as to Compliance of Existing Labor Laws and Standards (as per RA9184 and IRR)
25. No Certification on the Availability of Requirements to include Life Cycle Cost (ref RA9184 and IRR)

32. No Tax Stamp ‘Received’ by the BIR submitted (under the JV as required by law RA9184 and IRR)
33. Non payment of the Bid Security Bond

Under the AFP Fixed Communication System, Phase 1&2: IB-26: Bidders in the Second Stage Bid: Bidders are not allowed to form JV or Consortium with other bidders, nor change their members or the structure of the JV or Consortium they represented in the First Stage. The sudden formation of Ceragon-Datatrail JV in later bidding stages is HIGHLY ILLEGAL, a gross misrepresentation; DND BAC should have automatically disqualified them as non responsive to Stages 1 & 2 rulings.

The Winner lacks at least 31 pieces of information (referring to the above items) as required by the Government Procurement Act, thhe RA 9184 and IRR !

It’s very clear, therefore, that the Philippine Government can use their highly fictitious and fraudulent JVA arrangement (and the “JVA Magic”) as SOLID EVIDENCE to pin them down and file criminal charges: The “Customer” DND BAC and “Supplier” Ceragon Networks Israel/Datatrail Corporation have “an internal” BUSINESS PARTNERSHIP TO REWARDS THEMSELVES !

To demonstrate Business as Usual with these fixers, here’s a Complaint of grossly disadvantageous bidding manipulations of DND BAC led by Mr. Othelo Carag as the main Spokesperson for the DND BAC (ganito po kagarapal mag Award ang DND BAC noong panahon ni Pres. Gloria Macapagal Arroyo, like Kingmakers, naghaHari-Harian po sila noong bidding, yun pala, MAY MANOK PO PALA SILA ! They always say we MUST “follow the rule of Law”, but here we have a basis, it was pretty obvious that the DND BAC was even the number one violators of the so-called “rule of law” when odds are against them. Mukhang tama po si Atty. Frank Chavez na Fixers/may hawak na fixers ang The Firm !):

I’m concern that scarce resource for a PNOC pilot study to extract oil from Jathropa (tuba-tuba) seeds. US academicians have found it impractical for the huge amount of seeds needed to extract a gallon of oil. That’s why Bush-43 never bought into it but relied on future breakthrough in developing enzyme to break down cellulosic plants into ethanol. With that, perhaps Sec. Almendras would caution those PNOC Jathropa backers to take a deep breathe. Hope this urgent message can reach Sec. Almendras and would save us from wasting research funds.

I hope that Bong Naguiat, the new chairman of pagcor, also investigate treston college in makati and trace college in makati and Los Banos Laguna. Those private schools are owned by former pagcor chairman efraim genuino and most likely he used pagcor funds to set up those private schools. His daughter, angie, is currently the director of trace. His son, antony, is currently the mayor of Los banos and his father used pagcor funds for his camapaign. He even used pagcor funds to set up green colored street lights in los banos area, then they removed the pagcor logo when they learned that they were being audited.
The genuino family also owns corporations like Filipino pest, Genserve, and Mt. Pro bikes. they also owns a beach resort in nasugbu batangas, near the resort of gretchen barreto.
